I have the following:
rwBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, audioOver);
function audioOver(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var thisClip:MovieClip = e.relatedObject;
thisClip.alpha = 0;
}
I would like to change the alpha of the clip that is being rolled over. I don't know how to target the clip that is being rolled over. How do I do that?
I have several stage event handlers to enable mouseovers over several dynamically generated moviecilps on the stage that then change their alpha to indicate the mouse is over that particular mc... fairly trivial (mcOver handler). Additionally, I also want to know what MC is clicked, so I update a public variable (public var activemc:Number) with the ID of the dynamic movieclip when the mouse is over it (using a hitTest to check, which is why the EventListener is added to stage and not to the MC), which is checked in the mcClicked handler:This is in the constructor:
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);[code]....
However, the mouseover behaviour (alpha 0 when over, alpha 1 when out) stops working as soon as I click on any movieclip on the stage, and the mcClicked ID checking (below) stops working completely. I don't know if this is to do with focus:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
}
I then tried adding the event handler for the stage mouse_move again and this gets the mouseover working again but only for 1 more click, after which it stops again:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);
I have a MovieClip (call it base_mc) which is under a bunch of other MovieClips (call them subclips). The MovieClips on top are all mouseEnabled with MOUSE_OVER, CLICK, etc, event handlers. I want to capture the event of MOUSE_OVER (or ROLL_OVER) on the base_mc as well. Any time I am over one of the subclips I am also over the base_mc clip. How can I capture this event?
View 2 RepliesI'd like to know what is the difference between MouseEvent.CLICK & MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN. Because when i use MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN for a button to set full-screen view its doesn't work, instead of this MouseEvent.CLICK works. So what was the reason.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a button for the first time, and I wanted to use a full click to drive it. However, when I use addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler); nothing happens when I click on it. When I use (with the rest of the code being identical) addEventListener(MouseEvent. MOUSE_ down, onClickHandler); it works like a charm.
View 6 RepliesWhat is the difference between MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP and MouseEvent.CLICK? Why should I use one of these over the other?
Code:myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fNavigate, false, 0, true);
myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fNavigate, false, 0, true);
I have a MOUSE_DOWN handler that creates a CLICK event listener on a child object. Naturally, as soon as you release the mouse button, if you happen to be over the child object, the CLICK event fires.I was disappointed to discover that event.stopImmediatePropagation doesn't interrupt the CLICK event from registering the MOUSE_DOWN as part of its detection cycle. It makes sense that it doesn't but still... disappointing.A MouseEvent.CLICK consists of detecting a MOUSE_DOWN on the object and then if it's followed by a MOUSE_UP without leaving the object, he event fires. I had hoped that by cancelling the MOUSE_DOWN event, it would clear that out of the CLICK buffer, but no such potatoes, alas.This could all be handled with a flag and a couple more MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN handlers, but dang, smacks of effort
View 2 RepliesI have an object (a Loader) that you can click on, resulting in a MouseEvent. Clicking on the Loader moves it, which I do by modifying e.currentTarget.x in the MouseEvent function, a la:
private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.x = 0 - (e.currentTarget.width/2);
}
The problem is, I also want to change the ChildIndex of the target. I tried this:
private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.x = 0 - (e.currentTarget.width/2);
canvas.setChildIndex(e.currentTarget, 10);
}
But that results in a compile error: "Error Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject. at line 85 in Rotation.as"
I've noticed that sometimes I need to refer to the target as e.currentTarget.loader, so I tried that (canvas.setChildIndex(e.currentTarget.loader, 10);), but I get an error when I run it: "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property loader not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value. at Rotation/onClick()". What's the proper way for me to get the target so I can apply setChildIndex?

When Mouse is down on PlanetEarth_mc, only PlanetEarthOuter_mc starts moving, leaving PlanetEarthInner_mc and PlanetInner_txt in the same existing place. I want to call the parent of the target i.e. I want to move PlanetEarth_mc. also, EventReceived.target.parent.startDrag();//Gives Error. How can I achieve that from received MouseEvent Object I hope u understand this.
I have a parent movieclip with a few other movieclips inside it. When I add a mouseclick eventlistener to the stage and click on one of the children, i want the target of the event to be the parent movieclip. I still need the children to be mouseEnabled.
how do you check if a movieclip is a child of another?
I'm creating a simple drawing application that adds new Shape objects to a MovieClip "canvas" every time the user clicks and drags. The problem is, I'm noticing that even though the MouseEvent listeners are set to the MovieClip, the child Shape objects are being returned as targets as well. This disrupts the localX and localY as well, causing the drawing cursor to jump around as the coordinates change from being local to the entire MovieClip to local to the Shape the mouse is currently over.Is there any way to retrieve the most parental target from a MouseEvent?

I want to simplify some event handling of an flash app (if that is possible).. so i thought to extend MouseEvent in some way to do it.What i need is OVER, OUT and CLICK callbacks with an extra parameter (an object)... or something like that..I tried:

I've created a function called dragItem() that I call with the MOUSE_DOWN event. I've got it working....kind of. I can access the function when the mouse is clicked and I can even get the name of the instance when the mouse is down. I'm trying to use the same logic to get the single object to allow a drag. see my code below...
function dragItem(event:MouseEvent):void { var instName:String = event.target.name; trace(instName); trace(event.target.width); event.target.startDrag(); event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,dropItem); event.target.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,dropItem); }
I get this error when I try to drag the item...ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property startDrag not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value. at Main/::dragItem()
but1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,play1) ;
function play1 (event:MouseEvent) :void{

View 0 RepliesI have two sprites A and B, both are irreuglar drawn shapes (both with a transparent fill) that overlap certain points. The current result is B on top (though which is on top is not really relevant, as the same problem will exist if A is on top). They are both children of the same UIComponent.
Both are listening for the MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE event. It is to occur when a corner on either shape is passed over by the mouse. Though, when the mouse moves over the corner of A and this corner is behind B the MouseEvent is never raised.From my investigation I've found when i turn the fill off on the sprites and just draw the outline of the shape the mouse event will raise, but this is not what is wanted. how can I get *both* the objects listening and responding even when the corners of one is overlapping the other?
I've googled around and seen this topic at a million places but I just don't get the solution![url]...
Like in the image above. My red movieclip is dragable when mouse_down and dropped when mouse_up. At the same time I want the underlying Blue MC to get it's mouseEvents but if the Red MC is overlapping it, it won't react. What do I do to make both active?

I'm making a game where you keep a ball in the air by clicking on it, but the mouseevent doesn't always register.

I'm building a grammar excercise where I've got 24 drag'n'drop cards (movieClips), that I can drop into two 'slots' or dropTargets.

When the button is clicked, I want the dropped cards to simply disappear.
